Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup natural peanut butter
3 cups quick oats not old fashioned

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, add coconut oil, maple syrup, cocoa powder and milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Continue the low boil for 1 minute stirring almost constantly.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Whisk together and then stir in the oats.
Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a tray lined with wax or parchment paper. (You may choose to form them into a cookie shape or leave them as-is.)
Place the tray in the freezer to allow the cookies to firm, at least 15 minutes. Remove from the freezer and enjoy!
You can store these at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
